Jobs at kommu

Kommu is Icelandic for “arrival” and connotes what we are building: a community. For travelers, digital nomads, and citizens of the world, Kommu is a cost-effective private home sharing network that connects users with their direct network of travelers to (1) help users find connections as they travel and (2) assist members in finding a home away from home on those trips via exchange. Kommu is a web and mobile travel platform that enables users to seamlessly connect with fellow travelers and propose home exchanges with the people they trust most – their personal network – while also allowing members to discover other “Kommunity” members who are a degree or two removed from direct connections. A user’s home is only viewable to the connections that she establishes on the Kommu platform unless she wants to become a member and share her home with the broader Kommunity. Trust is built on relationships; those who we meet, know, and connect with are those whom we trust. In exchange for an annual membership fee, users can upgrade to become verified Kommunity members, connecting with a larger trusted network of fellow travelers – second and third degree connections – who seek to stay in their empty homes while away and suggest local experiences. Kommunity members consent to identification and address verification services and have access to key features and benefits that the Kommu platform provides to ensure safe and secure home exchanges at scale. Beyond the subscription fee, Kommu will derive revenue from selling damage and travel insurance policies for exchanges.
